Contact Lens FAQs

How do bifocal contact lenses work?

Bifocal contact lenses work in much the same way as bifocal glasses. Each lens has two powers, with distance vision being in one portion of the lens and near vision in another portion. Some bifocal lenses have two discrete powers - one for distance and one for near vision. Other bifocal lenses work more like progressive lenses, with a gradient of powers between distance and near prescriptions. Your eye learns to differentiate the proper power for the correct distance.

Imagine the freedom of wearing contact lenses to see up close, far away, and all the distances in between! Yes, this is ultimate freedom from those ugly bifocal glasses with the lines in them. Now no one has to know that you have a near vision prescription!
